So now I am running 4x a week. Started slow with about 3 miles each time. I used to run 1-2 times a week. Big adjustment. Philly Marathon, here I come. Not looking to just finish. I want to run my race. Don't care about timing but I want to complete it and feel good about it. BOOM.

Ok, so I am waaaay behind in my posts. I have been running and I am back. This approx 50 miles included the Brooklyn Half which was by far my worst half to date (2:32). I had bad back pain and was just luck that I was able to finish. My next step is to heal up and start training for my first full marathon (Philly 11/23).

This is far from my best time in a Half but also not my worst. In honesty, this was my best race ever. I ran at my own pace and was never concerned with the people around me. I raced for me, not... read more

For whatev reason, my Garmin wont sync. Ran 6.6+ over by my in-laws in Melville, NY. Pretty level area but still tons of snow. Had to run in the street on too many big roads. Gonna go for 10 miles next weekend and hopefully that makes me capable of the 13.1 that I have in 14 days

Finally got in a few miles outside. Despite the warm weather, still a lot of snow and puddles. I had to often run in the street and on grass. Felt like a train run. Was really happy to be out though. Still wheezing and chugging through.. run, walk, run, walk but... this is where I am right now. Gonna keep plugging away.

First run in a few weeks as I have been battling a terrible check cold. Was a little rough getting back into it and the next month maybe a bit nuts as I try to get in some shape for the NYC Half on 3/16. Just happy to be feeling better. Now if I can just get rid of the snow outside, I'd get in some street runs.

Flu--->Bronchitis. I am a fucking mess. Cannot walk from my car to the train without wheezing & coughing. I have the NYC Half in 5 weeks. Haven't run in 2 weeks. Haven't run more then 10 straight in about 3 months. Gonna be rough but I am not backing out. Been wanting to get back to this race for 2 years now. I don't care if I have to walk half of it, I am gettin' it down. And hopefully getting healthy. Soon.
